> I would like to run the loop each time only when I click the pushbutton.
I don't know whether you're using app designer, GUIDE, or a custom GUI/App which prevents me from getting too specific. I'm not sure what this means: " the pushbutton will automatically be clicked". Also, where is this while-loop and what is i? It's not clear why a while-loop is needed.
Here the general steps you can take.
- If the button should produce a figure, assign a callback function to the button and move the plotting code to the callback function. The code will be evoked when the user pressed the button.
- If the button should start/stop a longer plotting process such as an animation or updating a plot according to incoming data, you could use a state button (on/off states) that determines when the plotting should happen or pause. Keep in mind that when a callback function completes, its variables are cleared so you'll have to store the progress somewhere so the plotting function can pick up where it left off next time it's evoked.
